Hey Everybody Welcome back to another update of my Mutant test strain diary .
Getting very close to shedding his pollen now so I make a couple of daily checks on his progress.
As soon as I see pollen I will collect as much as i can and Chop him down.
The smell is strong and quite pungent For a male and The only negative trait so far I have noticed is the long time
It has taken to flower Which could effect the bloom time of any female I made a cross with .
Still learning the ins and outs of breeding practices and what I am supposed to be looking out for when choosing a pollen donor. But that is all part of the intrigue and enjoyment I get when growing and I wouldn't change a thing . 😀
So feeds were the same
Professors Nutrients go Green @ 2mls / litre
Natures own super bloom guano @ 5 mls / litre
PPM 650 Ph 5.7
I Don't expect this diary to go much longer maybe another 2 weeks max before I harvest the pollen and chop him down
Thanks once again for looking in at my diary See ya's Round like a rissole
Good idea
Just wondering how do you plan to quarantine the pollin as you grow outdoors?
Im guessing Australia is a big place so it shouldn’t be too difficult to put distance between them :)
@DILLIGAF, thanks for illuminating a whole branch of learning I did not even consider existed.
Will be delving in to pollen and best practices when handling to learn more.
Cheers big ears 👍🏽
@Techpuffin, good question the only females i have are in my tent and the males outside however once it starts poppin pollen I need to make sure I don't inadvertantly carry it inside to the girls on my clothes or hands So I plan to only go near the male once Ive already checked on the girls for that day and will take xtra precautions when it;s shedding Gonna sieve it and freeze it for later on
Well you may have found a keeper genetics wise let's hope for the best so as to continue on a new generation with awesome characteristics you are looking for awesome looking plant..
